Kuruva Rice

Kuruva rice is a traditional, short-grain, and often reddish-hued rice native to Wayanad, Kerala, known for its high nutritional value,, distinctive aroma, and firm, slightly chewy texture. It is highly valued for being rich in fiber, iron, and antioxidants (such as anthocyanins). Because it is often parboiled, it retains essential nutrients, making it a healthier alternative to polished white rice.
